On 32-bit systems, integers greater than 0x7FFFFFFF cannot be stored primitively, while integers between 0x0000000080000000 and 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF can be stored primitively on 64-bit systems but not 32-bit systems (signed long long). However, since 64-bit systems and many other languages support sto...
